Some days ago, I drove thorugh the place where David and I got married. All this spring, summer and now autoumn, I´ve been thinking that I want to photgraph my children right there, -but I haven´t done it.
But this day, I sent a sms to my friend [link] and asked if we should take a day out there, just in cause of photographing our FIVE children. And so we did.

It was so fun. Of course it´s difficult to capture five children the way you might have planned out, but we did get som photos. Of course I had to forget to use the Fnumber the way I wanted to, so every photo got more DOF that I like.. But it was fun!

I´ve been longing to submit some of the portraits I´ve taken of other children through the years, but I haven´t done it because I always felt that it´s important to ask the parents if its okey first. And I guess THAT was difficult for me. But now I pushed myself, and asked some of them, so I hope to add some more to my portraits album in the future.

Another thing I did, was to add a message in my facebook profile. I asked if there were any parents that would like to get their children photographed for free, just so that I could get the experience and fun of it, and might add a picture to my gallery. -And I got so many responses!! So now I got THREE photoshoots only this week! Yeeeyyhh I´m so happy! And a bit scared. Cause I dont have the equipment that I´m dreaming of. But I´ll do my best anyways.

I kinda regret that I didn´t say that I want just a little money... Then I could at least SAVE for the equipment I´m longing for... But hey, maybe later...

I´m going on a fotoshoot tomorrow, and the parents has agreed on me submitting some of the photos.. Hope for good results!

Anyways, I´ve noticed that it´s more easy to get comments and fave´s on macrophotos of flowers. Maybe because childrensportraits are more "private"? Maybe people feel that they have to know the faces, to like them? What do you think?

I´ve deleted lots of old photos, simply because I didn´t fancy them anymore. I moved on, and I think that I have gotten alot better! (yeyh!!)

I also arranged every photo in different albums. I had albums from before, but I didn´t think that all the photos were placed in the right ones. So I made more albums, with texts added, and also sorted from newest to elder (glad to find that option).

It was fun to do this! I discovered somethings about myself:

- I moved on! I´m alot BETTER!
- I seem to like macro, and portraits the most.
- I love colours.



Now I just have to get out and capture some new photos!!

In SOME of my photos, I have started to adjust the levels. In i LOVE the result, cause from beeing flat photos with dead colours, the pictures seems to become ALIVE! Some of those photos I took this summer was so blaze (BLASS) and flat, but the got totally rescued when I adjusted the levels.

But I wonder, -is it "okey" to do those edits in photoshop? Will you think that it is to fake a photo? Or do you think its okey?
normally, I DONT edit my pictures, -I only add a frame and my name on it. But now I´m in love with this possibility, and I´m almost afraid that I will use it alot...

So, whats your opinium?


BTW: take a look at thees georgeous photos!!

I´ve learned that I don´t need my dreamcamera (VERY expensive one....) to capture great photos, and that was an important thing for me to realize. So now, I´ll keep on finding great motives, and hopefully never get empty of them..

Me vecation is still not over, hope to see some more..

have a nice summer!!

Ofcourse, the reason why I went there, almost freaked me out (had to remove a tooth..), but it really helped to have my friend Canon 350d with me.
I think I got a coule of nice shots, so I'm happy with that..

I love taking photos in Oslo, there's so much to see, and to capture!
But I'm SO glad that I don't live there!!

Happy to go home again, but maybe not so soon..

When I'm not happy with a work, I wont draw anything for a year or so. So there's not many new drawings to add in this profile.
Anyway, -I hope that me thinking of this page, will inspire me to do some more drawings, and to learn more. I'm sick and tired of not learning more, just becouse I allways give up..

So, take a look at my drawings, many of them very old and not to good, but still a part of me. [link]

Hope to add some new drawings AND photos soon..

Jeg skal dit, og det skal Mimi også.. Noen fler der ute som kommer??

Last week, I bought a (stativ) for my camera (the thing on sticks that you place your camera on, to held it all still, what's the word??). One of my newest pictures, with the candles in the water, was the first pic I ever took by using it. I like it. Today I took some pictures with long shutterspeed of my livingroom, diningroom and kitchen. All of the rooms decorated with candles... I got really satisfied with those pictures..
But I want submit those, cause I don't think that they would be that interesting to anyone out there, am I right? If I should submit them, I would have taken a photo of the same room with another (bad) camera, so that you could see the difference.. Cause there's a BIG difference!

Do anyone of you have an idea of what I can take photo's of? Give me a job! )

I've been submitting some new stuff here, but it seems like not that many has seen them.. It's a shame.. I would really wish that MORE people could see my pics, cause I'm DIEing to hear some comments on my work.. And maybe some good advices?
I haven't tried to draw something yet. Well, I started to read the book, but I got tired after some lines, gave up, tried to draw my son, got dissappointed, and gave up that as well. I'm stupid.
I'm worried about "misternow", who lives in Manila, Philippines.. Are you still alive? How is it there right now? Hope you are fine!

I want to learn more. I want to take more pic's. I want to have my own studio.. And I want to hear some irish or scottish accent rrrrright nooww.. hmmm Maybe I'll put on Braveheart.. no, have to go to sleep..

hug, Monica

What do you think of the dragonfly? or the rips? Maybe my pic's are getting to boring now?

hug, Monica

]]> *Snupijenta http://Snupijenta.deviantart.com/journal/9805537/ http://Snupijenta.deviantart.com/journal/9805537/ Mon, 21 Aug 2006 14:43:45 PDT We were on a road-trip (not the same road-trips as Toope takes though..) with our caravan, and I took a couple of pictures that I had to share with all of you out there.
On this trip, I found out that the best thing would be to travel on a MC with my mom, or another friend who has the same interest as me (photo, of course), and just stop whenever we want to, just to take a photo of whatever we may see.. I sounds like a dream that will never come true. (Maybe because my husband won't allow me to drive a MC. It's to dangerous, he sais.) But after this trip, when I saw something that I wanted to take a picutre of in almost every 50. meters we drove, with my husband not willing to stop, and with other cars behind us, I just felt like weeping, because there was SO many nice shots that I DIDN'T get!! I wanna go on a PHOTO-road-trip! (Mimi, are you coming?? And Katrine; -GET WELL!!! Okey?? )
Yesterday, I went outside photo-hunting for some grasshoppers. I could hear them everywhere, but as soon as I got close to them, they got silent as air.. So, I didn't get any picture of them.
But in our water-tank, there was a dragonfly! Ever since my cat caught one, and ate it in my livingroom, I've been amazed of their colours and flying abilities. So I was determined of getting a picture of this one.
I guess I stood there for almost 50minutes or something. The dragonfly was looking for something in the water I guess, cause it was flying on the same places all the time. But it *never* stood still!! ARGH!!
When I almost gave up, it landed.. Weeeee!! And with my new 70-300mm lens, I've got a nice shot of it, even though I was over 2meters away from it..
I also found a frog in the water. Cool, huh?
Today, collecting apples, I suddenly got an idea..: I wanted to take a "forbidden fruit"-picture. First I took some shots of my hand "taking" a fruit. Then I thought that it would be the best if I could take a picture of a naked woman, grabbing the fruit. But who want's to get naked? I could do it, have done it many times, but I guess I know to many of those who is watching this site, so I'll better not, *lol*.. So I hope you are satisfied with the hand, *lol*.. (I'm feeling goofy today, hihi).
Anyway, have you ever thougth about what would happen if Eve DIDN'T take the forbidden fruit from the forbidden tree?? I have.. *sigh* ]]> *Snupijenta http://Snupijenta.deviantart.com/journal/9723343/ http://Snupijenta.deviantart.com/journal/9723343/ Mon, 14 Aug 2006 09:51:27 PDT With my husband and his parents looking after the kids, I saw a chance to do what I always been wanting to do: just sit still, and silent, in the nature, waiting for something or someone to show up.. I found a birdhouse, and I could hear that there was a lot of birds in it, so I sat down in the gras, and waited for the right moment..
I guess I waited for 5minutes whithout getting the shot I wanted.. I would have got it after a while, if it wasnt for my family yelling that we had to leave.
I felt like my world was drowning, cause I was just in the right place and element, doing what I ever wanted to do, and then the opportunity had to be destroyed like that.. I felt like crying, and I still do. It *sucs*. Why can't I EVER get a chance to do something with my wish.....? -while my husband hunts and fishes almost always when he wants too... ]]> *Snupijenta http://Snupijenta.deviantart.com/journal/9604380/ http://Snupijenta.deviantart.com/journal/9604380/ Sat, 05 Aug 2006 03:34:54 PDT Afterwards, we are going to Stord, where my husband is starting another job. We are supposed to stay there out this year, until christmas, but I'm not sure if I'm going to stay there that long. It IS getting coldt soon.. So maybe I'll go home with my kids. After all, we're also supposed to do something with our living-room. There's actually no floor at all. And the walls are just the sceleton. Not that good in the winter.. I know everything about it, cause it was like this the whole last winter.. hehe..
There is no wireless internet in Stord, so I'm not sure if I'll get a chance to check my mail, or my dA, for a long time.. hope there's a internet-café or something there, at least..
Maybe me missing the internet will be the reason why I'm going home soon? It's SO boring in a caravan when you have no-one to talk with, and nothing to do. Computer, and internet is a saviour then.. We'll seeeee....
So long, bye bye..

Today I went to the shop, and bought a new lens for my Canon 350D! It's a Sigma 70-300mm F4-5,6 APO DG MACRO (why do they have to have this difficult, looong names...?). I'm SO excited, but at the same time kinda scared of using it, because I reallly don't know what to do with it. I'm so used to use my 18-55mm-lens, and it worked out just great. But my friend David told me that it's even better to take macro-pics with a 70-300mm (for ex.), so then I trust him.. But it's really difficult getting used to not being CLOSE-up to things that I want to take a macro-photo of. Expecially when I'm inside my caravan, and want to take a close-up of one of my sons.. I'm actually getting TOO close then.. with the new lens. But I *will* get used to it, and I *will* take a lot of nice pics with it.. ]]> *Snupijenta http://Snupijenta.deviantart.com/journal/9541839/ http://Snupijenta.deviantart.com/journal/9541839/ Sun, 30 Jul 2006 10:22:45 PDT I det akvariet som Nemo blir nødt til å se på som sitt nye hjem, er det en fisk som er helt besatt etter bobler. Så fort lokket på kista hever seg og det kommer bobler ut, svømmer han febrilsk bort dit og sier "bobler bobler bobler! MINE bobler!". Akkurat sånn føler jeg det om dagen, bare at jeg tenker "BILDER BILDER BIIIILDER!! MÅ ta mere bilder!!" Jeg klarer nesten ikke tenke på annet enn at jeg har lyst til å ta bilder, kjøpe fotoutstyr, eksperimentere, osv.. Og jeg har jo masse TID for jeg jobber ikke eller noe.. Men jeg har jo to små skjønne barn, som gjør det meste endel vanskeligere.. Det er ikke lett å gå på fotojakt når man har to små å passe på, og en hund i tillegg som er helt hysterisk etter å markere seg på hvert tre, hushjørne, busk og lyktestolpe han ser, mens han samtidig blir helt utrooolig opphisset av all lukten fuglene har lagt igjen etter seg her og der.. Man kan trygt si at det å holde mitt dyrebare Canon i den samme hånden som hundebåndet befinner seg i, er en dum ting å gjøre... Ikke blir det noen bra bilder av det heller, slik det dyret røsker og drar..
Jeg har fått helt dilla nå om dagen. Min utvikling innen foto har hele tiden tatt riktige retninger, men ikke helt slik jeg ville. Men likevel er jeg veldig takknemlig for de årene jeg har fått jobbe i fotobutikk. Det var interessant og jeg lærte endel om farger. Men hvorfor i all verden gikk jeg ikke noe annet enn ALLMENNFAG på vgs???? Det er det dummeste valget jeg har gjort i livet mitt tror jeg.. Jeg skulle helt klart ha gått noe innen foto. Eller tegning, form og farge... Eller musikk, dans og drama.. Okey da, så er jeg egentlig ikke så sikker nå heller... Men jeg SKULLE ha gått FOTO!! Mere.. vil lære mere.. Hadde jeg ikke hatt to unger nå, og sett på de som det VIKTIGSTE i livet mitt, hadde jeg satt dem i barnehage med én gang, og sørget for å få gått skole/kurs/opplæring innen foto. Men nå er det jo slik at de er det viktigste for meg, så da blir jeg hjemme med de. Og er husmor. Og..skifter...bleier..og sånn... mens jeg egentlig ganske gjerne skulle vært i Alaska og tatt bilder av våte bjørner som slenger skinnende laks oppi lufta.. Eller bare en liten tur borti sentrum her og tatt bilder av tilfeldige uoppmerksomme mennesker, slik som min nye venn fra Karmøy gjør. Hva gjør man ikke for disse barna.. hehe..
Men jeg har iallefall det motto at "alt blir som du selv gjør det til", og det har jeg levd etter lenge, så jeg flyr likevel rundt og tar bilder med to unger og en hund drassende, hehe.. Saken er bare den at det hadde trossalt vært litt anderledes å få tasse rundt alene, eller sammen med en likesinnet, og bare rette kamera mot hva man skulle ønske.. Jeg husker ærlig talt ikke hvordan det er å gå alene. Uten vogn. Jeg tror jeg savner det litt...... ]]> *Snupijenta http://Snupijenta.deviantart.com/journal/9530026/ http://Snupijenta.deviantart.com/journal/9530026/ Sat, 29 Jul 2006 04:52:49 PDT alle menneskeansikt er usymmetriske! Det finnes ingen, eller iallefall bortimot ingen ansikt som er perfekt proposjonerte, ikke engang på modeller. Alle ansikt har ettellerannet som er litt sjevt ovenfor den andre halvdelen av ansiktet, en eller annen liten ting som man aldri tenker over, som ikke stemmer helt overens med den andre halvdelen av ansiktet. Dette legger man ikke merke til når man står og ser seg selv i speilet hver dag når man sminker seg, for man er jo så vant til å se seg selv på den måten, og man er kanskje fornøyd med det man ser der og da. Men når man ser seg selv på BILDER derimot, kommer "feilene" frem med en gang, fordi da ser man seg slik ANDRE ser deg, nemlig speilvendt I FORHOLD TIL SPEILET. Derfor syns man at man selv ser stygg ut på bilder, fordi det du ser i speilet og det du ser på ett bilde er to HELT forskjellige ting.
Nå er det jo sånn at andre vanligvis synes at det bildet nettopp du ikke liker, er ett flott bilde! Og det er jo fordi de er vant til å se deg slik. Men prøv dette da: ta med deg personen du nettopp tok bilde av, og still dere opp sammen foran ett speil, så skal du se at det blir et helt annet ansikt du får se der i speilet. Mannen min David for eksempel, han har ganske usymmetrisk ansikt. Når jeg ser på han, og tar bilder av han, syns jeg alltid at han er kjekk og vakker, mens han såklart syns han er stygg på de bildene. Men står vi foran speilet, virker han ganske så fornøyd med seg selv, mens jeg derimot syns at han er RAR. For det er jo ikke SÅNN jeg ser han ellers! Skjønner?
En gang testet jeg dette ut med webcameraet mitt: jeg satte det til å filme meg, og der satt jeg å så meg selv slik kameraet så meg: -jeg likte det ikke. Men så brukte jeg en innstilling på dataen som gjorde at kameraet filmet meg i speilvendt-modus, og da kjente jeg meg igjen med én gang (men da syntes jo såklart venninna mi at jeg så ukjent ut).
Har du noen gang hørt uttrykket "ta bilde av min gode side"? Folk har funnet ut at hvis de skrår litt på hodet, legger kinnet til mot kameraet for eksempel, eller knekker nakken bakover osv, så blir de fornøyd med seg selv på bildene. Og det er jo fordi at da endrer de jo fokuset på ansiktet, slik at man ikke legger merke til de skjevhetene/"feilene" jeg prater om. Ganske lurt igrunn..

Hva syns du om denne saken? Har du noensinne TENKT over det? Sikkert ikke.. Det er jo bare jeg som går å tenker over sånne rare ting, hihi..

Trine, I have always "sett opp til deg" (don't know the english way of sayin that), because you have a great fantasy, your own way of doin' things, and strong meanings.. Why can't I be a little more like you? I'll try Love you! *hug*

I did not do it before now because I was really tired of internet and stuff, and because I felt very confused about this deviantart-stuff.. And I have no pacience at all (don't know how to write it, was it incorrect??), and I think that it takes a little to much time to put out some pics on this page. But I understand why, and now I am.... hmmm.. what's the word.. hooked? hmmm... dont know.. but I like it
